Abstract

Behlen, Dorothy. 1980. 1980 Supplement to the national register of big trees. American Forests 86(4): 11-16.

The biggest recent change in the national register was sparked by the long-awaited publication last year of Elbert L. Little’s Checklist of United States trees (native and naturalized). With the new Checklist in hand, we have weeded the register, pulling out those species that are not considered native or naturalized in the U.S. This process should make the national register more representative of American trees. We have sought out champions for those eligible species that are not yet represented in the register. Included in this supplement, for the first time, is a list of those species.
